I suggest you read it again...the felony aircraft theft is not in the same
statute as taking the car without permission, both statutes were posted. The
felony would be theft of something with the value of over 2,500 bucks.
Notice the values and the "or" in the statue. Doesn't say he has to meet all
of them just one part of it.

the airplane however would be a Class B felony.

Read it again. I have seen no evidence that the 14 year old used
force in any way with regard to the aircraft.
